Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

The city residence of the Coburg duke, Ehrenburg Palace, built in 1543

Coburg, a small town full of tradition and history

Coburg Travel Guide

The massive fortress of Coburg, Germany, towers over this lively town with its wealth of tradition. For many years this was a popular meeting place for the European aristocracy. Coburg Castle, known as the Crown of Franconia because of its hilltop position, was founded in the 11th century and largely rebuilt in the Renaissance. This impressive structure, with its double ring of defences, was never taken by force. Today, there is a display of weapons and copperplate engravings, plaus a world-renowned collection of art.

The Hofgarten (Court Garden), which is home to the Museum of Natural History, is one of the most beautiful parts of the town and owes a lot to Coburg's ducal heritage. The garden stretches from the castle to the Ehrenburg Palace, which has an impressive Riesensaal (Giants' Hall) - a baroque chamber decorated with stucco ornamental plasterwork.

Christmas Market

Christmas tree decorations, wooden toys, ceramics and porcelain of all kinds dominate the scene of the Coburg Christmas Market. The fragrant aroma of roasted almonds, "Lebkuchen" (the delicious German-style gingerbread) and the famous Coburger Bratwurst pervade the air. A carrousel in the centre of the market square delights children and music adds to the wonderful atmosphere of the Christmas Market. You can also find daily performances of traditional regional handicrafts, glassblowing of Christmas decorations, wood carving and more. The State Theatre performs the childrens' play "Pippi Longstockings". In addition, Santa Claus arrives on special days at the Market with gifts for the children. The Christ child will make appearances from time to time to talk with the kids.

The booths and stalls in the heart of the historic Old Town are open from November 26th - December 23rd from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. all days, the food- and gluhwein stalls even till 9.30 pm.
